I’m very pleased that you have joined us for our annual gather- ing. The CMEA Conference is truly one of my favorite events of the year, and has been for my entire career. We gather here to share, learn, celebrate, and relax with our peers from around the state. YOU are important to our organization, and your presence here makes all of us better educators. I hope you will share your experience while you gain ideas from others. The CMEA State Assembly have been planning this conference for over six months, beginning with our June meeting. Council Chairs and Chair-Elects have been hard at work since that time to build the schedule contained in this program. Special thanks goes to the Executive Board and Bill Kohut (Opera- tions Director), Council Chairs and Chairs-Elect, Margie Camp (Communications Manager), Ken Anderson (Exhibits), Tom Bruszewski (Equipment), Michelle Ewer (Tri-M), Mark Montemayor (Research), Carla Aguilar (Advocacy), Cindy Smith (CAMCI), Michael Vallez (Technology), and Andrea Meyers (Membership), as each has contributed much effort and long hours to bring you this annual event. I also want to thank JW Pepper and Colorado Butter Braid for their continued support through sponsorship. These and many others make our con- ference so incredible. Please take the time to thank these individuals for their time, service, and hard work! Our Wednesday opportunities continue to grow each year. Hundreds of middle and high school Tri-M students gather for the day to learn and be inspired. A huge thanks to Michelle Ewer for her tireless efforts in making this day one that will inspire our future music educators. The conference begins in earnest on Thursday Morning. As we gather for the opening session, we’ll hear the swinging sounds of the Academy Jazz Ensemble, a big band comprised of teachers from the Colorado Springs area. We will honor and recognize award winners for Outstanding Young Music Educator, Advocacy, Honor Administrator, and Exemplary Service to Music Education. I’m extremely excited for our Keynote Speaker, composer/author/educator Bruce Adolphe, who will deliver his address during our opening session. Be sure to catch his clinic immediately following our opening. Finally, after a first day full of music, learning, exhibits, and friends, the day culminates with the Exhibits Reception and the President’s Concert. We will induct the new- est members of the CMEA Hall of Fame, followed by an incredible performance of our special guest artist, jazz vocalist Karrin Allyson...and that’s only the first day! Throughout the conference, CMEA has provided each of us with something. Unfortunately, you won’t be able to do it all. As our conference concludes Saturday afternoon with All-State Jazz groups and the All-state Elemen- tary Choir performances, you’ll feel refreshed, reinvigorated, and excited to return to your students. I hope that you will seek me out to introduce yourself, or take a moment to stop and chat as we experience the 2017 Clinic/ Conference together. Thank you for being here, and thank you for what you bring to our profession.
